A Mixed Pair.

Among the steerage passengers that left for
China on the steamer Gaelic yesterday were
Mr.. and Mrs. Mong Chung and three chill
dren. There would be nothing unusual about
the fact OF q Chinese couple going back to
their native country, but this was not a
Chinese couple, as the female branch of it
was Caucasian girl of about twenty-four
summers. She was quite nico-looklng
woman, ana In conversation with one of the
Inspectors stated that she was born in Phila-
delphia. OF German parents. She married
the Mongol, she said because she loved him.
"Chinamen are just as good as white men,"
she added, land l would just as soon marry
one OF them rs to marry man of my own
color"
How long have you been married to him"
inquired the Inspector.
about eight years. Ever since was six
teen years old }" she answered.
The woman appeared to be happy and went
aboard the steamer with an infant babe, q
result of the union, in her arms. Three chill
dren are the sum total of the marriage. The
eldestis about years old and the second about
years. The two older children have not the
slightest trace Of Caucasian blood, but the
baby is of a very fair complexion and of a
very decided Caucasian cast of cOuntenaDce.
The husband is said TO have considerable
money. which he accumulated in this city,

More Public Spirit Needed.

In his annual report, read before the
Board of Trade on Wednesday, President
Hull said that il he were asked what is
most needed in Savannah he would
answer, something to awaken public
spirit in her citizens" 1t is true that
Savannah is sadly lacking In public spirit.
Her citizens all feel proud of her beauty
and prosperity, and they all want her to
Increase in wealth and population, but
there are very few of them who are ready
to take the lead in advocating improve
ments, establishing enterprises and build
ing up industries which are so necessary
to promote the city's growth.
! President Hull hit the nail squarely on
! the head, as il were, in his assertion that
savanuahs citizens lack public spirit,
and little more plain talk of that sort
would do the city good.
Ii the people here were poor and
struggling there would be some excuse
for the lack of activity in the direction OF
| public enterprises. But they are not
| poor. There is not another city in this
state, and perhaps in the South,
where there is SO large per-
centage of the people who are
in comfortable and even afiiuent cir
cumstances as in this. 1t is about i'm
possible, however, to secure harmonious
action in behalf of any undertaking that
10 calculated to advance the city's inter-
| ests.
For years efforts have been made to
build a new hotel. Everybody admits
that a large, first-class hotel would pay.
There is plenty of money seeking invest
ment. Some OF it is even going else
where, and yet for the want OF sufficient
public spirit the hotel enterprise makes
no progress whatever. Why, even Tampa,
| Fla, That hasn't q hundredth part
OF the wealth and commerce Of
Savannah, is about to build a
hotel that almost any city would be proud
| of. Her people are moved by the spirit OF
enterprise and progress. and when they
! recognize what is wanted they join hands,
| open their pocket-books and order 1t.
Savannah wants more railroads. There
is a couple that would be built right away
If they had little help in the shape
OF few subscriptions. There appears
to be no disposition, however, to furnish
the needed help. While Columbus,
Atlanta, Macon and Augusta are all
going down into their pockets for the
cash that is required to give them addi-
tional railroad facilities, and while even
little towns and villages all over the State
are subscribing to railroad enterprises
| literally, Savannah takes an extra grip
upon her purse and determines
that she will get along with the railroads
she has unless somebody who has no par
ticular interest in her welfare builds
them for her.
President Hull would do a good thing
| for Savannah by giving her citizens a
plain talk every week. He might finally
succeed in arousing public spirit that
would work a great change in the exist
| ing condition of affairs, and bring about a
boom that would soon make Savannah as
famous for increasing wealth and popula-
ton as che is for hospitality and beauty,

The Baltimore and Ohio Deal,

1t is not yet absolutely certain that the
public has found out the true inwardness
of the Baltimore and Ohio deal. There
have been a great many specua:lons
about it, but nobody who has spoken has
claimed to know the actual facts.
1t is now claimed by some OF those VINO
pretend to know all that goes on in Wall
street that Messrs. Ives and Stayner have
failed to make good their option because
they couldn't find millionaires and bank.
ers enough to help them carry the Balti-
more and Ohio stock. Another story is
that the option has not yet expired. but
will expire to-day. IL il also asserted
that there 10 some trouble about the ex-
animation OF the books Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Company.
1t is, OF course, impossible 20 say how
much truth there il in these reports, or
whether there is any in them. An impress
sion seems to be gaining ground that Jay
Gould will eventually be the purchaser
of Mr. Garretts property. II ne 10 it is
pretty safe to conclude that he will pay
nearer what he thinks II is worth than
what Mr.. Garrett thinks 1t is worth. 1t
10 true Mr.. Gould has said that he didn't
want the road, but he is known to change
his mind quite frequently.cs
